Ghana’s Parliamentary Select Committee for Sports and Culture met leadership of elite clubs in the country over their standoff with the Ghana FA Normalization Committee leading to a halt in the commencement of the Special Competition.

The successful meeting comes just a day after the Normalization Committee held a similar meeting with the Parliamentary Select Committee over the same issue.

The clubs, consisting of Division One, Premier and their welfare body GHALCA expressed their misgivings over the antagonistic posture the NC has taken towards them.

Following the meeting the Parliamentary Select Committee called on the clubs to soften their position to reach a compromise with the NC to ensure the restoration of the Special Competition.

The Select Committee also revealed to the clubs that the NC had disclosed an amount of $500k as the money available for the competition and not the $800k they told the clubs.

The series of meetings by the Select Committee was necessitated by the NC’s description of clubs as ‘greedy, selfish and braggadocios’ which pushed the clubs to insist on an apology from the NC.

The NC has been up in arms with the clubs after the clubs requested for transparency and budgetary details ahead of the Special Competition of the NC.

But the two bodies are at each other’s throat with the NC being overly arrogant and boisterous in their dealings with the clubs since assuming office in September 2018.

The Parliamentary Select Committee for Sports has therefore been confronted with a herculean task of dealing with the two parties in the restoration of Ghana football.
